OneDirectory vs Org Chart Studio

OneDirectory is a web service that builds employee directories, searchable profiles, and interactive organizational charts from Microsoft Entra ID data. A one-way Microsoft 365 sync keeps profiles current. Employees can search people, roles, teams, skills, and offices, while profiles can include skills, contact details, reporting lines, assistant relationships, and dotted-line reporting. The org chart supports searchable and zoomable views, customizable layouts, and downloadable views. Profiles can start chats and calls through Microsoft Teams, Slack, Webex, or other supported messaging platforms. Authentication uses Microsoft’s identity platform with read-only, least-privilege access to Microsoft 365 profile data. OneDirectory runs on Microsoft Azure, stores data in the United States by default, and offers EU and Australia residency regions. Data is encrypted with 256-bit AES at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit. Pro starts at $349 a month for up to 250 profiles, with a 14-day full-access trial.

Org Chart Studio is a web application for creating, updating, and sharing organizational charts. It imports Excel, CSV, and Google Sheets data, and its import intelligence can flag missing managers and correct some naming errors. Once imported, a chart can be edited in a spreadsheet-like table or through drag-and-drop on the desktop visual canvas. Users can select a theme or adjust chart colors, cards, and connectors, then export to PowerPoint, PDF, PNG, or CSV. PowerPoint exports use native shapes and text. The tool also supports MCP connections for AI agents such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to build and edit charts. Its free tier allows up to 10 charts with up to 2,500 people per chart, while free watermarked PNG exports are limited to charts of up to 250 people. Clean-export access is sold as one-time passes: $1.00 USD for one day, $5.00 USD for seven days, $10.00 USD for 30 days, or $100.00 USD for a year. Each pass covers all charts in the account and is sized by the largest chart. The privacy policy says chart data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
